Overall, the changes are very positive. It forced us reevaluate our interactions and clean up our act.
Good point. Here for some reason the pedestrian light is 15 second even if the traffic is going to be flowing in that direction for 45 sec. You can hit the button and it'll start counting down again.
Came here expecting to read about the Supreme Court decision about the stuff companies can refuse their employees...

Similarly, there's quite a few messages going to a uninhabited point in Manitona Canada, that's usually where the label for Canada is. Country level geocoding in plain sight!
Failure should never be the only time you get to meet upper management :(

I've heard of many cases in Québec, where if the crime is judged severe enough, a 16-17 yo would end up being treated as an adult instead of going through juvenile courts.

French Canada names are not typical. Here are examples: François Tremblay Marc Gagnon Diane Côté Line Dion
Also, repeating the same ad over and over is pretty annoying. If you binge watch a series on Hulu Plus, you'll get the same ad at least twice per episode, for every 24 min episode. I can recite some of them by heart, with the same intonation.

Re:Why Canada Has No Big Tech Companies on Sunday July 21, 2013 @01:08AM (#6077881)
There are potential big players but American companies come and buy them out when they get competitive size: Softimage, Discreet, Maya, ATI, Matrox, ...

Matrox didn't get acquired but kinda changed their target markets.

It does puzzle me that they also require monthly pass user to tag off. I paid for a 1-3 pass, you shouldn't need me to tag at all!
Re:Clipper, the Caltrain nemesis on Friday September 21, 2012 @05:26PM (#4555907)
You cannot buy tickets on the train, that's another issue with Caltrain. See that hourly train coming? Don't even think about catching it if you don't already have a ticket. You'll have missed it by the time you get your ticket.
